    In Jim's rant he mentioned that The Boogeyman was standing by him wanting to whoop Santino but if you watch a shoot with The Boogeyman he actually admits that he didn't want none of Santino, he referred to Santino as "The Real deal". Jim also said if he saw Santino he'd slap him again but that wasn't the case when he ran into him again, he just shouted loud and called for security.

    Not many know this, but Anthony has a background in MMA, so if he wanted to he could have easily whooped Cornette. Years later, Anthony and Cornette were both booked at some sort of convention and Anthony approached Cornette in lobby to have a word with him, Cornette caused a scene and ended up getting escorted out of the convention by security. (There’s video of this on KZread).
